It has been a long time i haven’t go out with my favorite human. So we decided to catch up for a bit and went to have dinner in Tsubohachi Izakaya Hokkaido in Publika. This is the their first branch in Malaysia. We were so attracted by their interior design. They have these gigantic bathtub looking seating and also many cute maneki neko on the wall.

The service was superb! Once we were setting down, the waiter brought hot towel [Oshibori ] for us to clean our hand. Besides, we never need to raise our hand for ordering! Our tea cup were kept being refilled.

Kamameshi is one of their specialties, so we ordered one to share. We had the Tarabagani Kamameshi @ RM36.90.

Tarabagani Kamameshi – Red King Crab Pot Rice
We had to wait 10-20 minutes for the rice to cook, but the wait is worth it. There were 4-5 pieces of king crab legs in the pot. The rice becomes rich with crab, carrot and mushroom flavor.I cannot taste any seasoning but just the natural flavor from the ingredients, which is very nice and comforting.

Onsen Tamago. One with the special sauce and one with the regular shoyu. I think the special sauce is the mixture of shoyu and ponzu sauce.

Matcha De Roru @ RM14.90. It was pre-made frozen dessert.

Overall, i will definitely re-visit again for the good food and great service. If you cannot get a seat in Senya Izakaya, is a great choice to come Tsubohachi Izakaya.

Today, Lap Cheong brought me to Bul Do Jang for dinner. Bul Do Jang is a korean style chinese restaurant located in Desa Sri Hartamas. Same row with Guardian and hiding on the second floor of the shop-lots.

There are merely few tables and a private room in the restaurant. I bet they are always full house during peak hours. Not sure if you can make reservations but they do delivery around Desa Sri Hartamas Area.

BulDoJang means buddha jumps over the wall in korean.

Refillable side dishes. The pickles carrot goes very well with jajangmyeon. The kimchi is very tasty too.

This month is my dear friend lapcheong’s birthday month. We went to Senya Izakaya to celebrate his birthday. We wanted to try Kampachi lunch buffet at first but the price is too steep for us.

Senya Izakaya is one of the most popular restaurant in Publika. Almost every weekend is full house in Senya Izakaya. Remember to make reservation to book your seat so you don’t have to wait. I didn’t make reservation and we have to wait for more than 1 and 15 minutes for the table.

Salmon Belly Sashimi RM12.80

We start with Salmon Belly Sashimi. The sashimi is fresh and the price is reasonable so we had to order second plate.

Salmon & Ikura Gunkan RM18.00

Fresh and fatty salmon belly sashimi sushi and topped with fresh and big ikura. Very nice.

Prawn Tempura Roll RM16.80

Shisyamo Fry

Spicy Garlic Hokkaido Don Rm25

I guess there were more than 10-15 piece of grilled pork belly. Best giler.

Potato Salad Hokkaido Don RM25

Limited Time Special Hokkaido Don RM25

Yakitori – Grill chicken & leek with salt RM4

Yakitori – Grill chicken & leek with sauce RM4

Soft Shell Crab Salad RM17.80

There were some boiled watami and some seaweeds in the salad.

Spicy Deep Fried Chicken RM14.80

Salty and spicy fried chicken goes well with beer. Nom nom nom.

Sushi Train Cola RM5.50

I order this because the bottle is cute.

Friendly service but there is no service charge on the bill. The food is nice and the price is reasonable. I highly recommend Senya Izakaya.

Sometimes i would choose to dine in a restaurant with good service and OK food rather than queuing up for nicer but overpriced and no / bad service restaurant.

Yip Weng BKT is not the best BKT i ever had but is enjoyable and you will be attracted by their friendly service.

The soup version of BKT
The soup was thick enough but not heavy. The meat was tender and easily detached from the bone.

The dry version of BKT [ Signature Dish ]
I like this version than soup. The pork cooked with BKT spices, dried chili, dried cuttlefish and lady’s finger. Both version of BKT also go well with white rice or onion rice.

Oily vegetable to balance out the dinner.

Menu and price list [2015]

Do come here for dinner if you do not know where to dine in Puchong. Their friendly service will put a smile on your face. 🙂

The interiors of the restaurant is beautiful and rich, exotic look ( oriental style ). Nice place for gathering or event dinner. It is spacious, child-friendly and there are many spots for selfie or wefie or sophie.

There is no time limitation as i know, you don’t have to swallow every expensive dishes in a short time.
